SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence Rupee Watch | Small-Cap Research Two Tests for India: The Rupee Under Pressure, and SEPC Ltd (₹4.95) at a Turning Point SEPC has cleared restrictions on about ₹154 crore of receivables, won a Jharkhand stay and signed a ₹854.57 crore SAIL-IISCO contract, yet trades at ₹4.95 against a ₹9.87 NAV-based valuation. The RBI, meanwhile, is reportedly weighing a ₹50 lakh remittance sub-limit alongside tax relief to attract inflows. India's markets are asking two very different questions. The first is macro: is pressure on the rupee pushing the RBI toward tighter limits on overseas remittances? The second is company-specific: can SEPC Ltd (₹4.95), trading at about half the ₹9.87 NAV-based valuation in its July report, close that gap? One concerns national economic policy. The other concerns corporate execution and shareholder value. Both deserve examination on their own merits, and both reward ...

MUMBAI: India's technical textile industry is expected to grow at a rate of 20 per cent annually to touch $ 36 billion by 2016-17, according to experts.

"Technical textile is an important part of the overall textile sector in India. Not only has it grown at an annual rate of 11 per cent during 2006-11, but is also estimated to expand at a rate of 20 per cent to reach $ 36 billion by 2016-17," Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Managing Director Raj Manek told reporters here today.

Technical textiles are products manufactured primarily for their technical performance and functional properties rather than aesthetic and decorative characteristics.

The technical textile industry in India, whose current size is estimated at $ 17 billion, is seen as the next hub for both manufacturing and consumption, he said.

India is seen as a key growth market for the sector, given the sheer size of its population. Cost-effectiveness, durability and versatility have made technical textile popular in the domestic market; and with the discovery of new applications every day, the growth of the industry is only expected to amplify, Manek added.

He was speaking on the sidelines of 'Techtextil India 2013', a conference on technical textile. Its 4th edition opened here today and witnessed participation from over 182 exhibitors from Austria, India, Turkey, Sweden, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Netherlands, UK and US, among others.

At the two-day event, the participants presented the newest products, services and technologies available in the sector.

A symposium organised tomorrow will provide industry leaders, scholars, government representatives and professionals opportunities for dissemination and exchange of ideas related to the industry.
